Did he promise to leave office immediately? ;)

A convert from atheism but with Protestantism (Presbyterianism) in my background.

I know, I know. I am helping the site a little with an occasional controversial post. We ought to have more engagement. I thought a call to repentance might get some traction. I've been careful not to overstep any lines.

Go on! repent of the schism :)

Even the twice schismatic can repent and come home, the invitation is extended to you. Come home.

Amen Catholic with the protestants who retained so much of Catholic teaching both alike accept and confess the Creed called Nicene and in which the most Blessed Trinity is affirmed.

A very human Rock, saint Peter (Cephas, the rock) was not declared to be sinless by Jesus, nor was he promised unerring goodness in all his works and actions. After all, he did deny Jesus three times, as Jesus said he would, nevertheless the risen Lord, Jesus, restored him to office asking, "do...

when I read what you wrote it means "are you Christian first or are you Christian first" because the truth is that both words signify a follower of Christ who is a member of the body of Christ which is the church. Every Christian may encounter uncertainty regarding their calling and the...

Your assertion may be an overstatement or, at its worst, a relic of 16th-century Protestant propaganda devoid of truth. However, even with certain abuses that any Christian would find disturbing, it does not imply that these abuses define the Catholic Church. Similarly, the misdeeds of...

Well no. No there are not too many teachings. And no, they are not all infallible. Then you don't agree with Jesus Christ who said, of the church, "and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it." He says "it" as in one, not as in many dozens of denominations and thousands of...

We're not offering a negotiation about what to believe, Catholics are extending a hand of welcome to all those who want to enter into communion with the Catholic Church. Those who reject the offer today can accept it another day, when the Holy Spirit enlightens their minds and draws them into...

Do you think that is what happened, really? I think that what the Catholic Church teaches comes from Christ and so when a person says "I don't agree with that! It's not that way at all; it is this way that I just discovered when reading my bible in English" the person is disagreeing with...

I do not believe that it was a non-denominational statement of faith that Jesus said would be the rock upon which he would build his church, no sir, I do not believe that. But I do believe that Jesus said, "you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the...

Repent of schism from the one Church that Jesus said he was building. Surely no one really believes that Jesus said "And on this rock, I will build a multiplicity of denominations and independent churches" :rolleyes:

Catholic reform has not led to a significant number of denominations and independent churches, whereas Protestant reform has; it appears that within Protestantism there is no practical boundary that cannot be crossed in order to justify the creation of a new group.

After five centuries of failed religious reform, perhaps it's time for those within Protestant denominations to reconsider the historical division from Catholicism. The invitation to reunite remains open.

Christian Zionism is associated with Dispensationalism, as it ascribes significant theological and eschatological importance to the state of Israel in its interpretation of biblical prophecy.

But does faith alone save? ;)

I agree with your sentiment but not really with the expressions you chose to express it. The Democratic Party often becomes deeply involved in appealing to minority groups in an effort to build a coalition that constitutes a majority of voters. This approach may not be ideal. It would be more...

I agree that what you've noted is a fault in the Democratic Party but what has it to do with being a Christian?
